Dan Priestley, who leads the Semi program at Tesla, said in a video posted to YouTube on Monday, that the factory has an annual capacity of 50,000 units, adding that the company will prepare for high volume production over the next few quarters. “First units are set to be on the line by the end of this year, and we’ll be ramping the factory throughout 2026,” Priestley said. Tesla, which has been looking to build a truck-making business for years, had said it would have the Semi in production by 2019.
